The yacht section hosts weekly bay races on a Saturday afternoon where 6 to 10 boats make a regular appearance. The small number of craft should not be interpreted as an indication of a less popular sub-section. Each yacht generally has a crew of around 5 and hence the interest in this activity is by no means limited.
The sub-section also has both day and overnight off-shore race series, which involve racing to different marks and islands along this beautiful section of the African coast. These races are very well supported with many of the bigger yachts also joining in. Some of these races also include an overnight stop at either the Tanga Yacht Club, Lazy Lagoon resort or Sinda Island. The overnight stops are great fun, providing sailors an opportunity to relax and socialize together after a hard days racing.
